Publication number: 20080315981Abstract: The present invention relates to a high voltage transformer with high magnetic leakage and dual high voltage output, comprising a base and a core set, wherein the base contains a hollow support into which a first core of the core set pierces, and primary coils are wound on both sides of the hollow support, while a plurality of isolation channels is installed for winding first and second secondary coils on external sides of primary coils. First and second slots are opened between the primary coils and the first and second secondary coils respectively, and both slots cut into an internal through hole. When a second core of the core set is placed at one end of the hollow support, extensions at both ends of the second core go through both sides of the first core, together with first and second protrusive parts between the two extensions that are installed within the first and second slots and combined with the first core to form multiple magnetic paths.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2008Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: TAIPEI MULTIPOWER ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: CHING-SHENG YANG, SU-HUA WU, SHU-CHEN WANG

Patent number: 7446637Abstract: A parent-child leadframe type transformer includes a ferrite core module, a child leadframe and a parent leadframe. The parent leadframe has a first opening and a second opening on both ends. The length of the second opening is greater than the length of the first opening along the same axial direction. A containing space is defined between the first and second openings. The child leadframe has a coil winding slot and a through hole for installing the ferrite core module. The axial length of the child leadframe falls between the first and second openings, such that the child leadframe and the ferrite core module can be passed through the second opening, but limited by the first opening. The child leadframe, ferrite core module and parent leadframe are positioned to define a parent-child type transformer structure for reducing the overall height and complying with the safety regulation standards.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: FSP Technology Inc.Inventors: Chi-Tsung Liang, Yu-Chun Chou, Chih-Hsien Liu

Publication number: 20080246575Abstract: The present invention relates in general to the field of interface technology. Electronic components, such as modular converters for measurement control and regulation technology, in particular isolation amplifiers, are known from interface technology. Such isolation amplifiers can be used for galvanic separation, conversion, amplification and filtering of standard, normal signals and for matching analog signals. These isolation amplifiers are galvanically separated from one another in the input, output and supply circuits. According to the invention, a separate component of a transformer is integrated for separation into a circuit board of an isolation amplifier with the aid of SMD mounting technology, wherein the transformer contains a combination of inductive components, consisting of a magnetic core and a winding, and a substrate which contains internal printed conductors that form planar short-circuit windings.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2006Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20080197956Abstract: A coil unit includes a planar coil, a magnetic member that is provided under the planar coil, a magnetic flux leakage prevention member that is provided under the magnetic member, and a heat sink that is provided under the magnetic flux leakage prevention member. The magnetic flux leakage prevention member is electrically insulated from the heat sink. The magnetic flux leakage prevention member is insulated from the heat sink using a double-sided adhesive tape, for example. Since the heat sink dissipates heat generated from the planar coil and is electrically insulated from the magnetic flux leakage prevention member, the heat sink does not function as a member which receives a magnetic flux.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2008Publication date: August 21, 2008Applicant: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Minoru Hasegawa, Masao Kuroda

Publication number: 20080169894Abstract: An electronic component in accordance with the invention includes a body, such as a base, having a high magnetic permeability material applied to an external surface thereof and a wire winding wound about at least a portion of the high magnetic permeability material. In a preferred form, the body is made of a non-conducting material, such as ceramic or plastic, and the high magnetic permeability material is made of a magnetic material such as ferrite or a metallic glass alloy (i.e., an amorphous metal). The component further includes a spacer for separating the wire winding from the high magnetic permeability material in order to prevent the amorphous metal from damaging the wire winding. The resulting electronic component is capable of sensing magnetic fields and may be used in a variety of circuits such as compasses and magnetometers.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2008Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: COILCRAFT, INCORPORATEDInventors: Gregory L.
